Does anybody know where I can find a bolt pin for a cocker?
Before you all jump down my throat, I should explain. I'm looking for a bolt pin for an old-style bolt (on my 98 STO) which doesn't have the spring/bearing mechanism of newer ones. Basically the options to hold the bold in place on the backblock were either an enormous pushbutton pin with miniscule bearings on one end, or a pin with a a hole drilled in the end through which you thread a spring clip.
I can't stand the pushbutton and I don't want to scratch my backblock with a spring clip.
I seem to remember several companies making small discreet pins out of delrin, nylon, and sometimes aluminum in recent years which had an oversized O-ring on one end to hold them in place... Any idea where I can get my hands on one in black or blue? Even an MFGs name would be great.
